Best Times and Seasons for Hunting

Hunting Seasons

In South Texas, white-wing dove hunting typically occurs during specific seasons:

• Early Season: Early September. This season coincides with the birds' migration patterns, making it an ideal time for hunting.

• Regular Season: Mid-September to late October. This period offers extended hunting opportunities as the birds settle into their feeding and roosting areas.

Optimal Hunting Times

The best times to hunt white-wing doves are during their peak activity periods:

• Morning Hunts: Early morning hunts are productive as the doves leave their roosting areas to feed. Aim to be in the field before sunrise to catch the early flight.

• Afternoon Hunts: Late afternoon hunts can be equally successful as doves return to their roosting sites. Be ready to hunt a couple of hours before sunset.
